Gustavian Swedish Pier Mirrors

A pier mirror is a mirror which is placed between two windows. These mirrors are generally of a long and tall shape to fit the space. 18th century buildings often featured long windows, which the mirrors were created to complement. These mirrors were commonly seen as a decorating feature in the rooms of large 18th century houses.
